I know far worse things can happen but today must have been one of those days where everything goes pear shaped.
Started off by the awful neighbours next door telling me they weren't going to move after all. These neighbours think it is normal to shout all the time at their kids, each other and anyone else that happens to be round. The language is awful, so much so that the elderly couple the other side were thinking of moving. Anyway a few weeks ago the neighbours said they had arranged an exchange with someone for a bigger house. My hopes soared, only to find out today that they have changed their minds.
Next I start washing up and break one of mugs from a set.
Then go to the wheelie bin and find it heaving with maggots yukkkkkkkkkk! Don the gloves and hook out all the bin bags (one was split, the cause of the maggots I think) and arm myself with all sorts of cleaning sprays and apparatus. Spray said cleaning products into the bin and then hose the whole lot down inside and out. Go for a cup of tea in one of the non chipped mugs. Return in shorts and slip on shoes and decide to tip out water and all out of the bin BUT don't think which way I'm going to tip it and tip it out towards me, result dead and some live maggots all down my legs!!!
Say some very blue words whilst trying to stamp on maggots and shake them off me. Grab the hose to rinse them off but that is also now covered in maggots and have to call OH to 'rinse me off'. Finally sort out the whole mess and go back indoors to change.
Decide to make some rock cakes (hands have been thoroughly washed). They look lovely and OH and I have one. I go back in the garden when OH comes out and says they were a hell of a rock cake, showing me a piece of tooth that had broken off!!!!!
Aaaah well says I best to go back in the garden, it's safer. Decide to water the garden and forget that I have left my slippers outside, absolutely soaked.
I did do one good deed for the day tho and let out a trapped cabbage white from my placcie greenhouse. As much as I was tempted to leave it, it would have cooked to death in there and I couldn't bare that. It sat for about 5 minutes on my finger and flew off, know doubt to lay eggs on my brassicas
Only 4 hours left of the day, surely nothing else can go wrong
